There is a cone of blindness to the left of the driver that expands outward. You can adjust the mirror so that you don't have a blind spot in the lane next to you, but there is no way to adjust the stock mirrors to eliminate the blind spot in the second lane over. It is geometrically impossible with the stock mirrors. There is a similar blind spot on the other side, but it's easier to see into it on that side by turning your head and looking out the rear porthole window.

You may not notice this problem if you always drive on two to four lane roads or always drive in city traffic. If you do a lot of highway driving on large, six lane interstates, it becomes an issue, especially when assholes drive along under the speed limit in the left lane and then speed up to block you when you pass on the far right.
